The Problem

Currently the world is facing the largest refugee crisis of the digital age and with the mass amount of other immigrants coming to the United States, it is imperative that they have access to the information and resources that will get them off on the right foot. Starting a new life in a foreign country can be scary, especially when you arrive knowing no one. With all of the technology at our fingers tips, this allows us to create a database of "Mentors" That can lend a hand to a newcomer in need.
